Bright Spark: The Reconciliation of Trevor Southey

57m 50s

Trevor Southey dreamed of becoming the Michelangelo of Mormon art. After some success, it all came crashing down when Trevor’s homosexuality was exposed. Thirty years later, he finds himself in the strange position of being invited to rejoin the church that once rejected him. Bright Spark explores conflicts of artistic vision, religious belonging, and sexual identity with honesty and compassion.
